Are there any Buffistas in the Miami, FL area up for a F2F early in the evening on Monday, 11/11?
I'll be in town that night on a short business trip and can meet.

All English vibes appreciated... I have my final standardized English test - no writing necessary, all multiple choice and on everything from literature to linguistics.
Send vibes please, oh the buffista font of knowledge.

spoke with and got email from DH. His mom is heavily sedated and get disorientated easily. They are still waiting for signs that the small intestine is working properly, but they have seen ( heard ) some improvement. Please send extra strength to DH. His famliy dynamics are messy and he needs to be the grown up.
edit: I am really glad for this thread .. it lets me say things and then go back to the fun parts of life.

DH is heading home tomorrow. Everything seems to be working in his mom - she got to eat Jello today. She got much more lucid , but I guess the pain is high. Anyway the first worry stage is over.
Edit: I will be dark or grey this week. Sister arrived to day and mom comes in monday. I should be pretty busy.

Hey .... I'm going to be in NYC Sunday night. Are any NYistas up for watching Angel with me? I've missed the last two eps so there might have to be some hissing commentary during commercials to bring me up to speed ...
I have an early meeting the next morning but would love to see some folks. You KNOW who you are!

I will be in Philadelphia next week starting Sunday (sorry, ernaceous), for a computer geek conference. I would love to meet up with area Buffistas, especially for the Nov 5 Buffy.

My MIL is doing much better ... she is lucid ( the drugs were too strong for her) and DH arranged for a sitter to be with her when the family can't. She will be loosing about 10- 15 % of her body weigh and end up being a very thin woman, but everything seems to be working. She has a lot of dietary strictures to deal with and a long road to recovery, but in the end things she work out well.
i've only been dark to days ... I miss you all!

Job I interviewed for last week called asking if they can check my references, much to my utter surprise. I ended up pulling my name from consideration since it is a lateral move and I need to move up rather than sideways. AIeeeeee!
